Bwog was on our way home from the Abbey (accompanied by our BwogWeather pals—thanks for the Van Gogh shots, Paul!) late the other night when we saw a group of drunk freshpeople being loud and annoying outside Westside.

Overheard near the Barnard Gates: “I don’t really see the point of buying a Halloween costume when I have so many slutty outfits already.” Overheard in McBain Lobby. Four girls are standing wearing giant banana costumes. As they set out to leave, one of the girls says: “Let’s split.” Her comrades roll their eyes and […]
